John Miller, MD

Dr. John B. Miller is an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School and Director of Retinal Imaging at Massachusetts Eye and Ear. Dr. Miller earned his medical degree from the University of Michigan Medical School and received his ophthalmology residency training from Harvard Medical School. He completed a fellowship in surgical and medical retina at Harvard Medical School and Mass. Eye and Ear before becoming a faculty member in the Retina Service in 2015. Dr. Miller’s clinical practice focuses on macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, retinal vascular occlusions, trauma, macular telangiectasia, and complex medical and surgical retinal problems, where he utilizes the latest examination and diagnostic imaging techniques in hopes of providing earlier diagnosis and treatment. As a clinician scientist, his work focuses both on clinical research and the basic mechanisms of retinal disease through study in the laboratory. Ongoing laboratory studies explore the pathogenesis of age-related macular degeneration, macular telangiectasia, macular hole, and drug retinal toxicities. His clinical research investigations include age-related macular degeneration, traumatic macular holes, and macular telangiectasia, with a particular focus on retinal imaging devices, including Swept Source OCT (investigational). With additional advances in retinal imaging, Dr. Miller hopes to provide earlier detection of disease or predisposing factors, better prognostic information, and disease maintenance.
